Tummy Tucks: Yes, Men Get Them Too!

Of all the plastic and cosmetic procedures performed at We Know Beauty, a notable minority are performed on men. In fact, procedures for men are on the rise year after year, according to The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), who estimates that men account for 25 percent of new plastic surgery patients. In 2011, ASAPS reported that men had nearly 800,000 cosmetic procedures, which accounted for 9% of all procedures carried out by ASAPS doctors that year. While that may not sound like much, it's a 121% increase from the total number of men who underwent plastic surgery in 1997!

Men who come to We Know Beauty  often benefit from the same procedures offered to women, but with the masculine approach. Men usually choose cosmetic procedures such as rhinoplasty, liposuction, eyelid surgery, and male breast reduction. However, some may be surprised to learn that that includes a tummy tuck in Beverly Hills. Most often utilized for men who have lost significant weight upwards of 100 pounds, men who are most likely to benefit from a tummy tuck have undergone bariatric surgery.

At We Know Beauty, we cater to patients of all ages and backgrounds, including gender. We believe that successful bariatric surgery patients often benefit from a tummy tuck to make their abdomen tauter and smooth out the skin that has become loose from losing so much weight.
